    I like the Velcro idea using the screw. I have used Velcro in the past for cable management but never with the screw mount. Thanks for sharing.

    We’ve used Velcro like that many places in the XL 425 build (dollar store find: $1.25 for a plastic jar full of various colours) but you, Mr Pipes, have taken it to a new level with that screw!! Nice work! 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

    Tie wraps are reusable... use a small screwdriver and poke on the section where it locks and just pull..

    • @BillyPipes
      @BillyPipes  4 года назад

      I wouldn't trust that. They'll eventually be useless. Plus if you pull the zip ties tight and cut it you won't be to link it again. Also Velcro is way better and easier 👍

  • @andreasheiner3426

    The trick may be nice, but you should change the location of the devices running on 110V; condensation water may drip in (t = 5.54)
